Whether you are buying it as a gift or for yourself, there are many reasons why titanium jewelry can be a better choice than jewelry made with traditional precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum.
Firstly, titanium is highly corrosion-resistant and therefore does not tarnish easily. Especially for high-polish finished jewelry like gold and silver wedding band rings, it is expected that the jewelry will lose its color and shine over time. Even if they are stored properly in jewelry boxes or safe, the oxygen in the air reacts with the metals and turns color. This process is of course accelerated if the jewelry is worn daily because the sweat combined with body temperature acts as catalysts to the chemical process.
Also, titanium is hypoallergenic, which means that very few people have skin that is sensitive to it. People who are allergic to gold, silver, or, more commonly, nickel, which is found in most gold and silver jewelry, don’t have to worry about outbreaks when wearing jewelry made from titanium and its alloys.
A widely known property of titanium is its durability. It is this attribute that makes it perfect for active individuals who frequently engage in outdoor activities, even water sports. It is common that people to find their gold or silver jewelry damaged, or even lost, after a day of exciting outdoor events. These disappointments can easily be avoided if titanium jewelry is worn instead. In addition, titanium has a high strength-to-weight ratio. In other words, although it is much stronger than gold and silver jewelry, even steel, it is much lighter and hence more comfortable to wear.
Finally, it is fashionable and trendy to wear titanium jewelry as it is new in the fashion industry with many innovative ideas being applied to it. Titanium is so versatile that it not only can be combined with gemstones, gold, and silver, engraved and finished like traditional jewelry; it can also be anodized to create eye-catching colored titanium jewelry.
Common titanium jewelry includes wedding band rings, men’s titanium rings, and men’s titanium bracelets. There is every reason to explore the vast possibilities and express your personality in a whole different way.
